Type Details

DirEntry

Represents a file or folder entry in the file system.

export interface DirEntry {
  dir: string;                    // Directory path
  basename: string;               // File/folder name without path
  extension: string;              // File extension (empty for folders)
  path: string;                   // Full path including storage
  storage: string;                // Storage identifier
  type: 'file' | 'dir';           // Entry type
  file_size: number | null;        // File size in bytes (null for folders)
  last_modified: number | null;   // Last modified timestamp (null if unavailable)
  mime_type: string | null;        // MIME type (null for folders or unknown)
  read_only?: boolean;            // Whether the entry is read-only
  visibility: string;              // Visibility status
  previewUrl?: string;            // Optional custom preview URL (falls back to adapter's getPreviewUrl)
}

Properties:

• dir - The directory path containing this entry
• basename - The name of the file or folder without the full path
• extension - File extension (e.g., "txt", "jpg"). Empty string for folders
• path - Full path including storage prefix (e.g., "local://documents/file.txt")
• storage - Storage identifier (e.g., "local", "memory")
• type - Either "file" or "dir" indicating the entry type
• file_size - File size in bytes. null for folders or when unavailable
• last_modified - Unix timestamp of last modification. null if unavailable
• mime_type - MIME type string (e.g., "image/jpeg"). null for folders or unknown types
• read_only - Optional flag indicating if the entry is read-only
• visibility - Visibility status string (e.g., "public", "private")
• previewUrl - Optional custom preview URL. If provided, this URL will be used for image thumbnails instead of calling adapter.getPreviewUrl()

Usage Example:

import type { DirEntry } from 'vuefinder';

const handleSelect = (items: DirEntry[]) => {
  items.forEach(item => {
    console.log(`${item.type === 'file' ? 'File' : 'Folder'}: ${item.basename}`);
    console.log(`Path: ${item.path}`);
    console.log(`Size: ${item.file_size ?? 'N/A'} bytes`);
    
    // Use custom preview URL if available
    if (item.previewUrl) {
      console.log(`Preview: ${item.previewUrl}`);
    }
  });
};

ItemDclickEvent

Event object passed to @file-dclick and @folder-dclick handlers.

export interface ItemDclickEvent {
  item: DirEntry;              // The file or folder that was double-clicked
  defaultPrevented: boolean;   // Whether the default behavior was prevented
  preventDefault(): void;      // Method to prevent the default behavior
}

Properties:

• item - The DirEntry object representing the file or folder that was double-clicked
• defaultPrevented - Boolean indicating whether preventDefault() has been called
• preventDefault() - Method to prevent the default behavior (preview for files, navigation for folders)

Usage Example:

import type { ItemDclickEvent } from 'vuefinder';

const handleFileDclick = (event: ItemDclickEvent) => {
  const file = event.item;
  console.log('File double-clicked:', file.basename);
  
  // Custom behavior here
  // ...
  
  // Prevent default preview behavior
  event.preventDefault();
};

const handleFolderDclick = (event: ItemDclickEvent) => {
  const folder = event.item;
  console.log('Folder double-clicked:', folder.basename);
  
  // Custom behavior here
  // ...
  
  // Allow default navigation by not calling preventDefault()
};

ContextMenuItem (also exported as Item)

Represents a context menu item that can be added to VueFinder's right-click context menu.

export type ContextMenuItem = {
  id: string;                                                      // Unique identifier (required)
  title: (i18n: App['i18n']) => string;                          // Function that returns display text
  action: (app: App, selectedItems: DirEntry[]) => void;          // Function called on click
  link?: (app: App, selectedItems: DirEntry[]) => string | void; // Optional link URL function
  show: (app: App, ctx: MenuContext) => boolean;                  // Function to determine visibility
  order?: number;                                                 // Optional sort order (lower = first)
}

Properties:

• id - Unique identifier for the menu item (required)
• title - Function that receives the i18n object and returns the display text for the menu item
• action - Function called when the menu item is clicked. Receives the app instance and array of selected items
• link - Optional function that returns a URL string. If provided, the menu item becomes a link (useful for download actions)
• show - Function that determines whether the menu item should be displayed. Receives the app instance and menu context, returns a boolean
• order - Optional number to control the position in the menu. Lower numbers appear first. Items without an order value are sorted last. Built-in items use values like 10, 20, 30, etc.

MenuContext:

type MenuContext = {
  searchQuery: string;      // Current search query
  items: DirEntry[];        // All selected items
  target: DirEntry | null;  // The item under the cursor (if any)
}

Usage Example:

import type { Item as ContextMenuItem } from 'vuefinder';
import { contextMenuItems } from 'vuefinder';

const customMenuItems: ContextMenuItem[] = [
  ...contextMenuItems,
  {
    id: 'custom-action',
    title: ({ t }) => t('Custom Action'), // or: title: () => 'Custom Action'
    action: (app, selectedItems) => {
      console.log('Selected items:', selectedItems);
      // Perform custom action
    },
    show: (app, ctx) => {
      // Only show for files
      return ctx.target?.type === 'file';
    },
    order: 15, // Appears between items with order 10 and 20
  },
];
